Seminary Ridge house is decked out for summer

This fine home blends with the other classic colonial houses that surround it. The family room boasts a brick fireplace and a glass door leading to the deck.

This charming colonial home would be inviting at any time of year. But it is especially enticing during the summer, with the long wooden rear deck overlooking towering trees.

Glass doors connect the deck with both the family room and the kitchen, where the ingredients for a summer cookout are conveniently close at hand.

Beyond the marble front entrance hall, hardwood floors continue throughout the first and second floors. Crown molding and wainscoting enhance the foyer, while the living room displays elaborate dentil crown molding, carrying out the colonial theme. On the other side of the foyer, multipaned glass doors open onto a home office with wooden wainscoting. Behind the living room, the dining room features crown molding and chair rail beneath an elegant chandelier.

From the lower level, a glass door leads to the stone patio and the garden beyond, providing even more summer fun.
